Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a drag operation member for a double-bearing reel and a dual-

The present invention relates to a drag operation member of a double-bearing reel mounted on a handle shaft rotatably supported on a double-bearing reel main body having a double-bearing reel and a rod mounting portion.

The double bearing reel is provided with a drag operation member for adjusting the drag force of a drag mechanism called a star drag. The drag operating member adjusts the drag force by engaging (engaging and screwing) the handle shaft of both bearing reels. The drag operation member rotates integrally with the handle shaft when the drag force becomes strong to some extent.

When fishing is being carried out, it may be necessary to perform an operation of slightly lifting the fishing line. For example, in the case of recovering looseness which causes the fishing line to be deflected, when the clutch mechanism is returned from the clutch-off state to the clutch-on state after casting, and when the action is added to the lure after casting The spool may be slightly rotated in the winding direction.

When the spool is slightly rotated in the winding direction of the spool in this manner, if the fishing line is wound by using the handle assembly, the winding operation of the line may not be instantaneously performed (instantaneous). That is, even in the case of the double handle type handle assembly, since the handle knob is disposed at a distance of 180 degrees, it is difficult to operate the handle assembly instantaneously unless the handle knob is in a position where it can be held easily. Therefore, it is conventionally known that a drag operation member is provided with an auxiliary operation portion for turning the handle shaft with a hand holding the fishing rod (see, for example, Patent Document 1). In the conventional drag operation member, the auxiliary operation portion is provided at the tip end portion of a plurality of drag operation portions projecting radially. The auxiliary operation portion is provided so as to approach the reel main body side. Thus, the drag operation member can be operated in the line-winding direction by the fingertips of the hand holding the fishing rod.

Japanese Patent Publication No. 3967661 Specification

In the conventional configuration, since the drag operation member is provided with the auxiliary operation portion that approaches the reel main body, the weight of the drag operation member is increased. Further, the structure of the drag operation member becomes complicated, resulting in an increase in the cost of the drag operation member.

An object of the present invention is to make it possible to easily operate the drag operation member of both bearing reel by the fingertips of the hand holding the fishing rod by suppressing an increase in weight and cost.

The drag operation member of the double bearing reel according to the first aspect of the invention is mounted on a handle shaft rotatably supported on a reel unit having a fishing rod mounting portion. The drag operation member includes a mounting portion and a plurality of operation portions. The mounting portion is rotatably mounted on the handle shaft. Each of the plurality of operating portions extends radially outward from the mounting portion, and is provided at intervals in the circumferential direction. Each of the plurality of operating portions can protrude from the bottom surface of the side cover on the handle side of the reel unit when viewed from the side from the handle direction. When the reel unit is cut by a plane perpendicular to the handle shaft, And a first straight line connecting an outermost diameter portion of the distal end portion and an outermost diameter portion of the distal end portion at an acute angle.

In the drag operation member of the double-bearing reel, the operating portion extends radially outward. Therefore, the operation portion can be operated by the hand holding the fishing rod. The finger dam portion has an acute angle with the straight line connecting the axis of the handle shaft and the outermost diameter portion of the distal end portion to the distal end portion of the operation portion. In this case, when the distal end portion of the operating portion of the drag operation member is rotated by the hand holding the fishing rod from the handle mounting side, the finger dam portion at the distal end portion is acutely formed. So that it is easy to operate the drag operation member by the hand holding the fishing rod. Therefore, the drag operation member can be easily operated by the hand holding the fishing rod without installing the operation auxiliary portion. Therefore, the drag operation member can be easily operated by the hand holding the fishing rod by suppressing an increase in weight and cost.

The drag operation member of the double bearing reel according to a second aspect of the present invention is the drag operation member according to the first aspect of the invention, wherein the distal end portion is thicker in the circumferential direction than other portions of the operation portion. The finger dam portion is formed such that the angle formed by the finger dam portion and the second straight line is an obtuse angle. The second straight line is a straight line connecting the base end side of the finger dam portion and the shaft center. In this case, since the front end portion is thick and the angle formed by the finger dam portion and the second straight line is an obtuse angle, the thickness of the operation portion other than the tip end portion can be made thin even if the thickness of the tip end portion is made thick, .

The drag operation member of the double bearing reel according to a third aspect of the present invention is the drag operation member according to the first or second aspect of the invention wherein the distal end portion is cut from the surface passing through the shaft, (Outer circumferential portion) to the axial center is gradually shortened. In this case, even if the fingertip of the hand holding the fishing rod touches the inclined portion, since there is no corner portion, the finger end is not hurt even when the drag operation member is rotated.

The dual bearing reel according to a fourth aspect of the present invention includes a reel unit, a handle shaft, and a drag operation member of the double bearing reel as described in the first or second aspect. In this case, a double-bearing reel having the above-mentioned action and effect can be obtained.

According to the present invention, when the distal end portion of the operating portion of the drag operation member is rotated by the hand holding the fishing rod from the handle mounting side, the finger dam portion at the distal end portion is acutely formed, So that it is easy to operate the drag operation member by the hand holding the fishing rod. Therefore, the drag operation member can be easily operated by the hand holding the fishing rod without installing the operation auxiliary portion. Therefore, the drag operation member can be easily operated by the hand holding the fishing rod by suppressing an increase in weight and cost.

<How to operate both bearing reel>

The rotational force from the handle 2 is transmitted to the spool 12 through the handle shaft 30, the drive gear 31, the pinion gear 32 and the spool shaft 16 So that the spool 12 rotates in the line winding direction.

In the case of fishing, the angler adjusts the braking force with the casting control mechanism 22 to suppress the backlash. Further, the drag force of the drag mechanism 21 is adjusted in accordance with the fish species, the thickness of the fishing line, and the like. When the adjustment of the braking force is finished, the angler presses the clutch operating member 17 downward. Here, the clutch operating member 17 moves to the clutch-off position below. By the movement of the clutch operating member 17, the clutch mechanism is brought into the clutch-off state. In this clutch off state, the rotation from the handle shaft 30 is not transmitted to the spool 12 and the spool shaft 16, and the spool 12 is freely rotated. The angler catches the first side cover 6a together with the fishing rod FR and smiles the spool 12 with the thumb of the hand palming the palm of the hand so that the spool shaft 16 is moved vertically Face) of the two bearing reels. Then, due to the weight of the spool 12, the spool 12 rotates in the lane release direction, and the fishing line is released from the spool 12.

At this time, for example, when the fishing line reaches the sea surface and the fishing line becomes slack, the operation of rotating the drag operation member 3 in the line-winding direction is performed in order to eliminate deflection of the fishing line. When this operation is performed, the angler grasps the first side cover 6a to reach the fishing rod FR by grasping the first side cover 6a as shown in Figs. 3 and 6, for example. The angler touches the bottom portion Fa of the fingertip F of the stop to the finger dam portion 56c provided on the operating portion 56 of the drag operation member 3, And presses the finger dam portion 56c toward the line winding direction. As a result, the handle shaft 30 can be rotated in the line-winding direction and the fishing line can be wound around the spool 12, so that the slack of the fishing line can be eliminated. Thus, the fishing line can be wound around the spool 12 without operating the handle 2. Fig.

Here, when the distal end portion 56b of the drag operation member 3 is rotated by the hand holding the fishing rod FR from the opposite side from the handle mounting side, the finger dam portion 56c at the distal end portion 56b is rotated at an acute angle The bottom portion Fa of the fingertip follows the finger dam portion 56c and the drag operation member 3 can be easily manipulated by the hand holding the fishing rod FR. Therefore, the drag operation member 3 can be easily operated by the hand holding the fishing rod FR without installing the operation auxiliary portion. Therefore, the drag operation member 3 can be easily operated by the hand holding the fishing rod FR by suppressing an increase in weight and cost.
